port forwarding

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

MN700 and original firmware for MN500 don't support
loopback, so you may not be able to check the web site
from within the LAN using the WAN IP. Try using
http://network-tools.com/ to check that the site returns
the proper headers. For MN500 upgrade the firmware.
However, notice that the latest firmware requires SSID
broadcasts to be on for wireless to work.

On my site, I just forward TCP port 80 (either persistent
or app-triggered) and it works fine with Apache. For
persistent port forwards you need to assign a static IP
to the PC, and remove it from DHCP. For persistent, only
port forward is needed.
